The adoptive parents and birth father of a girl known as "Baby Veronica" have fought for custody of her since shortly after she was born in 2009.

Her birth father, Dusten Brown, a member of the Cherokee Nation, fought for custody of Veronica, 3, under the Indian Child Welfare Act.

The case went to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled in favor of her adoptive parents, Matt and Melanie Capobianco. Brown defied a court order to return Veronica to the couple and was arrested Monday. Here is a timeline of events in the adoption dispute. Exact dates for some events were not available.
